Health and specifically Medication Literacy is important in patient
empowerment and in empowering patients and families as effective
partners in ensuring optimal health outcomes. While there has is a
reasonable body of evidence on this for adults, there has been very
little work on medication literacy for children, specifically in terms
of effective interventions. Adopting agreed upon nomenclature and
developing and validating children's specific instruments -- such as
infographics - will be important in moving forward, especially when
these instruments can be actively incorporated into eHealth initiatives.
